On Sunday, Satn Wawrinka and Novak Djokovic met in the men's final of the 2015 French Open, and Wawrinka showed up to Roland Garros wearing something that looked more like pajamas than tennis shorts.
Or boxers. Or a bathing suit. Maybe even a dish towel. Anything except tennis shorts, really.
We were settling in for a 5th & #Wawrinka breaks back with some epic defense! On serve, 2-3 in the fourth ... pic.twitter.com/BIqcZIMrmQ
— Live Tennis (@livetennis) June 7, 2015Wawrinka's on-court performance was dominant. Djokovic had no answer for his ferocious backhand, the driving force behind Wawrinka's championship victory (4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4) on Sunday.
But all anyone could talk about was his shorts.
Wawrinka is the best kind of athlete in that he always looks like he rolled out of bed and put on whatever clothes were in his car

— Savannah Guthrie (@SavannahGuthrie) June 7, 2015I'd much rather watch Rafa un-wedgy himself for 5 hrs than look at Wawrinka's dishcloth-inspired shorts.

— jeremyweate (@jeremyweate) June 7, 2015Is there greater aesthetic variance than the Wawrinka backhand versus the Wawrinka shorts? ...(First set to Djokovic)
— Jon Wertheim (@jon_wertheim) June 7, 2015Stan Wawrinka borrowed those shorts from your grandpa.
